# Active Release Technique (ART) Timer AI Agent Connect

> Active Release Technique (ART) Timer MCP handles the complex timing math required for soft tissue treatments. It calculates contact durations, movement cadences, and rest intervals based on specific tissue types and lesion complexity. Instead of manual timing, your AI client manages the repetitive patterns and session planning for you.

## Description

This MCP manages the technical timing requirements for Active Release Technique (ART) practitioners. When you are performing soft tissue work, the precision of contact time and movement rhythm is critical to the treatment's effectiveness. This tool takes the mental load off by calculating exact temporal patterns based on the specific lesion and tissue type you are treating.

You can use your AI client to map out entire treatment sequences, ensuring that rest intervals and movement cycles stay consistent. It handles the math for repetitive patterns, so you can focus on the patient. Whether you need to know the specific cadence for a patient to follow or a high-level summary of a planned session, this MCP provides the data instantly through your preferred interface.

## Tools

### get_protocol_timing
This tool identifies the specific timing parameters needed for a planned ART treatment.

### calculate_treatment_sequence
This tool computes the full repetitive pattern for a single treatment session.

### get_movement_cycle_cadence
This tool provides the specific rhythm and cadence instructions for the patient to follow during a movement cycle.

### summary_session_plan
This tool generates a high-level overview of the scheduled treatment for the practitioner.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the timing parameters for treating a muscle adhesion during the Release Phase?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a muscle adhesion in the Release Phase, you need 5 seconds of contact duration, a 4 second movement cycle, and a 10 second rest interval between passes.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate a treatment sequence for 5 passes on a tendon strain in the Integration Phase.
```

**Response:** 
```
The sequence for 5 passes on a tendon strain will consist of 5 total cycles with a cumulative treatment time of 120 seconds.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a summary for a high-intensity session on a ligament lesion.
```

**Response:** 
```
The scheduled treatment for the ligament lesion requires 8 passes with an expected duration of 300 seconds and a High intensity level.
```

## Capabilities

### Protocol Calculation
Your agent determines specific timing parameters for planned treatments.

### Sequence Planning
The AI calculates full repetitive patterns for entire sessions.

### Patient Rhythm Guidance
Your agent provides cadence instructions to keep patient movements consistent.

### Session Summarization
The AI generates high-level overviews of scheduled treatment plans.

## Use Cases

### Muscle Adhesion Treatment
Use the AI to find the exact contact and rest durations for a specific release phase.

### Tendon Strain Management
Calculate the total time and number of cycles needed for multiple passes on a tendon.

### Ligament Lesion Planning
Generate a high-intensity session summary including pass counts and expected duration.

### Patient Movement Coaching
Get specific rhythm instructions to guide a patient through a movement cycle.

## Benefits

- Calculates contact timing and rest intervals based on tissue type.
- Automates the math for repetitive movement patterns.
- Provides consistent cadence instructions for patients.
- Generates session overviews to track treatment intensity and duration.

## How It Works

Connect the MCP to your AI client to start managing clinical protocols immediately.

1. Connect the MCP to Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf via Vinkius.
2. Describe the tissue type and lesion complexity to your AI client.
3. Ask the AI to calculate the specific timing or sequence.
4. Follow the generated cadence or session summary during the treatment.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP handle different tissue types?**
The tool calculates timing, contact, and rest intervals based on the specific tissue type and lesion complexity you provide.

**Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?**
Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

**Does it calculate total treatment time?**
Yes, the calculate_treatment_sequence tool determines the cumulative treatment time for a set number of passes.

**What kind of information can I get for a patient?**
You can get specific movement cycle cadence instructions to help guide the patient's rhythm.

**Is there a way to see a full session plan?**
Yes, the summary_session_plan tool provides a high-level overview of the scheduled treatment.

**How does the tool determine timing parameters?**
Timing is calculated using `get_protocol_timing` which analyzes the combination of tissue density and lesion severity to ensure precise contact and rest intervals.

**Can I plan a full session at once?**
Yes, you can use `calculate_treatment_sequence` to generate the complete repetitive pattern, including total cycles and cumulative treatment time.

**Does this provide instructions for the patient?**
Yes, the `get_movement_cycle_cadence` tool provides natural language descriptions of the required movement tempo for the patient.
